    Post your three wheeling Miata :D

    If your on coilovers or if your Miata is generally really stiff it tends to lift on one corner...
    Or if your racing in general and you turn hard it tends to lift on one corner

    For example:

    3 wheel? Looks like it is 2 wheeling it! Also helps when there is a big dip in the road!

    3 wheeling is the most common trait for mini coopers with coilovers...

    I've registered over 1.3Gs on track master app before, think I'm going sufficiently fast. No 3 wheeling because my suspension is setup right.

    yup i've never seen or experienced my own car 3-wheel before, i think having the passenger could have made the difference.

    e36 M3s 3-wheel all the time

    and losing one of your contact patches just shows your setup's inability to maintain grip.

    You can't convince me this kind of handling behavior is desirable in a vehicle being driven at the limit. I'd prefer it'd never happen when dancing with the limits of grip.

    Here is a picture of my old CS '99 Sport from the 2006 DC ProSolo. I am getting just a touch of air under the front tire. I still to this day regret ever selling that car.
